Instructions given by professor:

READ AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IS NEEDED BEFORE ACCEPTING.
In the PBS video we saw this week she discussed the commonly heard declaration of “I could do that”. This is often used in response to Contemporary Art. It can seem simple or as if not a lot of thought went into the piece. This week I want you to go through your textbook and any videos/powerpoints we have seen so far and find an artwork that makes you think “I could do that”. Then using any material you have in your home (it doesn’t necessarily have to be “real” art materials) do your best to create a work inspired by that piece. The materials you use can literally be anything, you could paint with coffee or make a sculpture with an empty paper towel tube, you could even use your phone and any clothing you own to recreate a portrait, remake a master. Anything you already own that isn’t an essential item. Tell us who your chosen artist is, the title of their work, and what made you choose their piece. Provide us with a picture of the original work and then a picture of the work you created. Tell us about your piece, what materials you used, and why you chose to use the materials you did.

Write a 300 word response plus a picture of the artwork you created.
